Recognizing the problem

It is widely believed that 1-2% of all gamblers are compulsive and that most experience varying degrees of depression. Participating in games of chance becomes a self-medicating distraction, providing only temporary relief from the underlying problems associated with this type of compulsive behavior.


How do you know if you have a gambling problem?

  1. A compulsive gambler is defined as someone whose gambling has caused growing and continuing problems in his or her life.
  2. Symptoms include:
  • Inability to stop gambling
  • Vows to abstain
  • Increasing financial, work and/or relationship difficulties as a result of gambling


What can you do if you have a problem?

Admit that you have a progressive illness that won’t go away by itself. Thousands of people have received help through Gamblers Anonymous or other programs designed specifically for people with gambling problems.
